I bought the last one i could find for the HD Mini.
The only other ones i've seen, are the piano black gloss ones on Ebay.
edit: looks like a bunch are on ebay now!

Can you post a link to any of the ones you've seen on eBay? I don't see any at all right now... just searched for HTC Gratia.

Don't think I'd buy one of the above.. look, no antennae contacts!
The hd mini must use a different antennae design than the aria.

Here's one from a top rated seller on ebay.
It says it's for the Aria but there aren't any photos of the inside to show the antenae prongs so can't be sure.

The need to start breaking some HTC Gratias so I can get some new back covers...

Sorry, fail on my part.
I must have gotten this thread confused with another asking about replacing the back cover for a phone that someone recently purchased.

Im looking to replace the battery door on my aria as well. After using for little over a month it seems the oem back has become a little loose and is no longer as rigid as when first purchased. Ideally I'd like to find something carbon fiber with a high modulus of elasticity and shear modulus that is also light weight. I'm looking for functionality over aesthetics; I just want the thing to be stiff as a brick, literal, though the added benifit of a flashy weave would be nice as well. This seems like wishful thinking but if anyone knows of anything along these lines please let me know.

I'd like to find something transparent to show off that awesome ferrari yellow.

Possibility?
The guy at Icy Cell has made a mold of his Evo and
then made several colors of clear cases. My thought
is that if we could get 20-30 people who wanted a
clear back at ~$15 a pop plus shipping it might be worth
his while, know what I mean.
just google Icy Cell....
Hope I didn't break any rules in my post, haven't seen a group buy
on here before but thought this was a perfect opportunity

Of course we'd have to figure out how to make an antenna

This was posted in the General Aria section, but it doesn't specify if the cover includes the antenna or not. I have sent a question to the seller asking and will post back with results.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Battery-cover-H...035756?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item45f704e1ec

I posted this in another thread. but it doesnt look like the antenna is included.
-----------------------------
Dear XXX,
ARIA Battery cover's are to include a built in Antenna and Volume Rocker.
The cover will not work without an antenna, and seems to be an issue with
many of these covers.
Does this cover include an antenna?

Dear dexmix,
not include.
thanks

Other than a few mentions of the Aria, I'm not sure what your point was with that link... the covers they are talking about are for the EVO.

Well, it does two things.
Firstly, it mentions the Aria a few times, which you already figured out. Secondly, it provides an easy-to-click link for others to see what they were talking about in the previous post about Icy Cell.
When I first read the icy cell post I was thinking "Gee, why didn't he just include the link? After all, this is the first tangible reference we've had to a clear back for the phone, or one of its siblings." It'd be pretty neat if we could convince the icy cell guy to make a clear back for it. I think it's a great idea!

Okay, I see... does anyone know if the EVO has its antenna in the back cover like the Aria does? I'm thinking we are pretty unlikely to see any aftermarket covers for the Aria since it will be too difficult for most companies to manufacture inexpensively.

HTC Aria back cover
i just received a battery cover for my aria from ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Battery-cover-H...ccessories&hash=item45f704e1ec#ht_1676wt_1048
and I can confirm that this does not have the antenna, nor the volume rockers. It also has a few protruding pieces of plastic which prevent the cover from being flush with the phone
in other words, don't bother getting one of these

A realy perfect Leather Case

from ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270831391457&ssPageNam e=ADME:L:OC:AU:1123
review:
After my first disapointing buy from ebay i bought this "sexy"
synthetic leather case.
Its weight is 290 grams.
Is a very-very slim case and when it closed, the case is tightly fixed on the tablet.
It has 3 deep grooves for standing and the tablet is very stable in these positions.
The philosophy of this case is "to not hiding nothing from the tablet when you use it."
On the back side there is a gentle opening for the camera.
It smells like leather.
The close clip aplly a good force to keep the case closed.
Every button or socket of the tablet is accesible with closed case
And finally i am happy, and this is the most important

Looks good, does it have a typing angle? What is the name?

also are you able to charge the tab without having the case open? i have one such and i need to have my case open each time i charge which is a pain

This is maybe the case I'm looking for. Can you please share the name and the link for the case. Since you can't post links, replace for examples the dots of the url with spaces or some other characters.

Maybe this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320786081962#ht_2592wt_1165
You have to open the case when charging (if I remember right).
I bought this. Premium quality indeed.
EDIT:
cheaper one

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270831391457&ssPageNam e=ADME:L:OC:AU:1123 - just a link that's easier to click then yours
I must say the case looks really nice!
I was wondering about the 3 viewing angles though - do they firmly support the Tab? Would hate to buy it and then find out it slips and falls out when I set it up on one of the angles (I saw that happen before...). Also, is it possible to use this case to prop your Tab up when you put it in your lap (in bed or something similar)? Or is it too flimsy?
And do you feel the extra weight when you carry the tab around? I really love how light it is right now, you don't even notice you have it in your bag (with the standard samsung pouch on) and it's really easy to hold it in one hand and typing with the other if you're walking around the house.

The gaps for the 3 viewing angles are deep enough, and yes you can use it in your lap, my wife do it often.

is still light it is just 290 grams more.
but if you want to use it with one hand, i think that the best way is
to hold it in portrait like a book because the total weight is about 850 grams

Well you got me sir, just ordered one myself. Hope it works as well as you described
Will report back once I have it and test it out a bit ^^

Can anyone confirm if this will fit tmobile galaxy tab 10.1?

Isn't it the same size? If it is, it should fit... can't help you out there though as I have a 7500 one.

The same case, with a new name, posted once again in a new thread. This was $12 on amazon last week.

Really? I sure couldn't find it when I looked (didn't look really hard though)
Doesn't really matter though, if it's a good case I'm more then willing to spend $23 on it. The most basic samsung pouch costs 25€ (about $35) here :S.

You definitely didn't look very hard. Here's my post from last week. Link to amazon where you can get if now for $19.

Aye, you're right. Wouldn't help me though, since amazon tells me that "there is a slight problem with my order" (they can't ship it to my place for some reason).
Still, good to know a cheaper option might exist for some people, thanks!

Yes the size should be the same. I'm just worried about button/port placement.

For people trying to find one from the UK...
I purchased a look a like case from here:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005ECHQ4C
I was struggling to find it as cheap as in the US for example.
The one from the above link, seem to be very good so far. All viewing angles work great, both on a flat surface and on my lap. The typing position is my most used.
'Leather' quality seems good so far. Of course it is going to add some weight, but not really an issue for me. ALL ports/buttons are fully accessible, inc charging when case is closed.

its a great case

Good wallet/diary style case?

I'm looking for a good book/diary/wallet style case for my new T-Mobile Galaxy SII. Something like the BookBook case for the iPhone:
http://twelvesouth.com/products/bookbook_iphone/
or this case for the international Galaxy SII:
http://www.bizwinkorea.com/tablet-p...ine-leather-diary-wallet-type-case-cover.html
I'd kinda want it to look like a leatherbound book, but that's not as important as it actually being leather. I do want it to have pockets opposite where the phone sits to hold money, cards, etc.
Anyone seen anything like this?

None? Nobody's seen anything like this?

Honestly bro I looked high and low for a case like this and it just isn't out yet. There's an OEM product called "Samsung d30 t989 leather slip cover" coming out sometime in the next few months that can be found with Google if you search the quoted phrase. The one case I found like what your asking turned out to be an incompetent eBay seller labeling **** for the international gs2 like it would work for ours.

eeeewwwwww.......
i don't like those cases, yes, they have their good uses, but... not my type
i can see many scenario and situation when & where i might want to use one, but it's not worth the cost
just search for something similar, you don't need an exact fit for those type of cases, look for another phone with similar size spec, and find it

any updates on this case?

bump for great justice. i really like the twelve south case

I've been looking at this
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=34089

just ordered it few days ago waiting for it to show up
---------- Post added at 10:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 AM ----------
dont buy for talkietech or wirless age or something like that, they both dicked me around for two weeks and told me not in stock, there is a guy on ebay from hong kong that has stich color options for pd case, but i got the original from the website above

I ordered a "black Napa leather case" off Amazon. Nice quality but so thick it could hold 2 sgs2's and way too wide. Clearly not made for our phone.

http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0075/8682/t/1/assets/phonefoldgrey-full07.jpg?111878
This case is exactly what I want but it's only for iPhone and the measurements don't match.... our phones are too wide

I've been searching for the same thing. I found this one and I really like it. Although the camera and speaker holes are wrong. Might get it and try it out anyway..

I guess, given that there's no hole on the back for camera or speakers, it should work just fine. I don't know how much different our phone is from the original GS2.
Still, at $40, I guess I'd like to hear from someone who has my phone and has bought the case.

I emailed the seller and asked for some pics of the actual item. I'm sure it's an i9100, but here ya go. Looks nice none the less. I may pick one up.

I axially bought one of these and I really like it. It doesn't line up with the holes for the touch buttons perfectly, but my x-acto took care of that easily. Seems to be pretty good quality. I've been using it for about a month.

htc evo arm band...

so im looking for an evo arm band that i can use while i run. i found a few on amazon but the reviews for them are 50/50. Any one have any experiences with them? what one is the best?

depends how picky you want to be. i bought the LIVEstrong arm band, for i think the iphone, at radio shack and i had to drop an elbow on the phone to get it to go in but after that it's pretty sweet. comfortable, flexible, breathable and a hole for your headphones. that's all i wanted. ya mean?

I tried one for the iphone 4. They are WAY to small. You can get it in there and the hole for earplugs align, but its to hard to get in and out. Not worth it

I just put it in my back pocket, works like a charm. I don't think I've ever run across an arm-band that was big enough to holster this beast.

with more and more giant beastly phones coming out there has to be something! I found a decent sized one that fits my evo but the hole doesnt align for the headphones... its really annoying... i guess i could cut one into the right size...

Best Buy Generic Android Arm Band
I looked online, but didn't fine many options, so I went to local best buy and found a generic HTC Android arm band that has been great. I was roughly $20 and is good quality. I have the extended battery (3500mAH SEDIO) and it works like a charm. Use it when lifting, running, and elliptical and it stays put. Definitely recommend.

I went to wal mart and got a Phillips one, made for the Iphone, but it is sort of a nylon/stretchy type material, my evo fits in it great, plus the holder is thin enough you can "sort of" see through it when screen is on..I set up swype guestures w/ cm7 on the lock screen and can register my "next track" guesture through it...works good enough!

I like this one
I bought this one a while back. Fits like a glove. I tried a similar Nike strap and the EVO didn't fit and the strap was too short to go around my arm. I don't have big arms. I just think the Nike was made for a girl maybe. Anyway, here is the Amazon "link".
Black Durable Neoprene Exercise Sports Workout Armband with Adjustable Velcro Strap for Sprint HTC EVO 4G Android Smartphone
Sorry, first post. Can't post a link, but I copied and pasted this from the title of the item on Amazon.

I'm on my second arm band, and still no luck finding the right one. Anyone know if HTC sold OFFICIAL arm bands for the EVO?

I usually ride with my Camelbak.. there is a pouch in it that fits my phone just fine.. I find these sony earbuds that I got from radio shack has a long enough cord and there is no binding..
Although I have herd of some people using iPhone buds and are able to control functions like Track up or down and volume..
any thoughts?

I searched for an armband for both my Evo and iPhones in the past and found that the better solution for me was a holster case for it that holds it horizontally (landscape) on my hip. It works with shorts, sweatpants, or whatever as long as the waste band is somewhat tight or has a drawstring.

Armstrap for running/biking

Curious if anyone has one or knows of a manufacturer that is selling them. I would like to start running and biking with a bit more comfort as I find the screen to large to keep in my pocket when doing these activities.
Thanks!

You might look into the Tune Belt AB85. There's a video on YouTube where the guys shows how it holds a Galaxy Note so surely the S3 would fit. The AB86 is designed for the Galaxy Nexus so you might look into that too. I own a Tune Belt that works with my Galaxy S2 and I found it to be a good product.

Funny you mentioned Tunebelt, I just received a message from one of their customer reps that the Galaxy Nexus model should fit the S3 perfectly.
Can be purchased directly or through Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Tune-Belt-Arm...2572943&sr=8-1&keywords=Tunebelt+galaxy+nexus
Similarly I managed to make my Droid X Tunebelt accommodate the S3 (after some minor alterations )

Has anyone tried the AB86 model? I have a smaller TuneBelt that I used with my HTC Desire, and there is no way that you can get headphones in with the S3 going in to the holder top-first (as I'd want to use it), as the neoprene covers exactly where the headphones are. There are only gaps in the corners and middle. It would work going in bottom-first, as then the headphone access would be at the open end.
Does the AB86 model improve this to allow headphone access from either end with the S3?
I've been happy with the build quality of the TuneBelt. Another cheaper but similar looking alternative that I've seen is from iGadgitz http://www.igadgitz.com/products/fi...for-samsung-galaxy-s3-iii-i.html#.UEi0oo1lQs4
That's specifically for the S3, so should definitely have the correct headphone access, as well as labelling where buttons are. Has anybody got any feedback on this?

I wasn't too happy with how the TuneBelt fit, so I returned it and picked up a Belkin EaseFit Plus. It's a much better fit for both my arm and the phone. My only complaint is that, despite it's claims, it is most decidedly not sweat-proof. Maybe it is from the front, but not so at all from the back. The TuneBelt seemed to do a somewhat better job at keeping the phone dry from sweat, probably because the fabric is heavier/thicker.
